Lorraine Pascale - From Modelling Alongside Kate Moss In New York To Filming Music Videos With Robbie Williams To Selling Over 1 Million Cookbooks In The UK!

This week on The Go-To Food Podcast , we’re joined by a true multi-hyphenate: model, chef, bestselling author, and international TV star Lorraine Pascale. From gracing the covers of US Elle and hanging out with De Niro in New York, to conquering UK television screens and selling over a million cookbooks, Lorraine’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. But after years of intense public life, she stepped away from the spotlight. In this candid conversation, she opens up about the burnout that came with global fame, the anxiety that followed, and the unexpected life she's built away from the kitchen. We dive deep into her extraordinary backstory — adopted as a baby, raised in Oxfordshire, and fostered through traumatic experiences — and how she emerged from that to land a modelling contract at just 16. Lorraine shares wild memories from the fashion world, from being shaved bald against her will to partying in NYC, before switching careers entirely and enrolling at Leiths culinary school. From there, she worked in some of London’s most elite kitchens, launched her own cake business with the help of Marco Pierre White, and became one of the most recognisable food personalities on TV. Plus, we find out her dream three-course final meal and her Go-To locations. This episode is full of grit, glamour, and real talk — the kind of conversation that stays with you.
